After being scolded by Maisie like this, Fiona gritted her teeth. She glared at Maisie and Ava fiercely.“Ava, you’re really underhanded. Whoever dares to be your colleague in the future will have to worry about being framed by you and being left with a criminal record. People like you will face retribution!”Fiona cursed angrily before she turned and walked away.Maisie sneered contemptuously in the direction Fiona left.“Who does she think she is? She has sticky fingers and stole your bag because she doesn’t have limits. But now she’s pushing the blame to you. I think she not only has a personality problem but also a brain problem.”Maisie complained before turning her head to comfort Ava again.“Ava, don't pay attention to such people. She was detained because she stole something. It has nothing to do with you.”“Maisie, thank you.” Ava smiled and thanked Maisie, but she was not affected by what Fiona said.The other employees in the office did not speak. Instead, they all s
Ava knew that these people were saying that to her. She raised her head with a smile and said.“This kind of thing doesn’t depend on fate. If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to sit in the corresponding position.”“Not necessarily,” Kendra retorted.“Why not?” Ava aimed her sharp eyes at Kendra.Kendra pursed her lips. She wanted to speak but stopped herself.At this time, Tom entered the office with a woman in business attire who looked very capable.“My fellow colleagues, please stop what you're doing,” Tom said and then introduced, “This is Ms. Parker, the new manager of your design department. She’ll be managing all affairs of the design department in the future. Just look for her if you have anything you want to ask.”After Tom finished making the introduction, everyone in the office except Ava was stunned—including Maisie.She had clearly heard that Ava was going to get this position, so why did someone else replace her all of a sudden?“Good morning, everyo
“Miss, Miss Long has arrived.”The man beside Ava announced respectfully to the woman standing not far in front before turning to speak to Ava.“Miss Long, this is our young mistress and the owner of this house, Miss Tawney.”Ava did not know that this little-known influencer was also the daughter of a wealthy family.However, what surprised Ava was not the influencer but the woman standing beside the influencer, Naya.Since she came here for work, Ava ignored everything and walked to the influencer with a polite smile.“Hello, Miss Tawney. I'm the designer responsible for the interior design of your house. My name is—”“You don’t need to introduce yourself to me. I know who you are.” Chloe Tawney interrupted Ava. Her face that was covered with heavy makeup was full of arrogance and disdain. “Aren't you Ava Long, the vixen who shamelessly seduced another's fiance at their engagement ceremony?”Upon hearing Chloe's answer, Naya sneered. She seemed very satisfied.“Ava, I didn't
“What? I need to show you examples?” Chloe showed a surprised expression. “Is a designer’s job so easy that you just look at other people’s work and copy it? Is it so easy for you to make money?”Ava knew that Chloe was misinterpreting her words on purpose, but she still calmly explained, “Miss Tawney, I asked you to show me an example so that I can get to know your style and understand your preferences.”“I see.” Chloe looked like she just understood, but a wicked smirk soon appeared on the corners of her lips. “You can talk to my good friend Naya, then. I bought this house as a gift for her, so she can decorate it as she likes. You just need to listen to her.”After hearing what Chloe said, Ava was not stupid and knew Naya was obviously trying to set her up. These two were just beating about the bush.Naya was arrogantly looking at Ava from the corners of her eyes. She was waiting to see how Ava would be set up by her later. She knew that Ava's mother was the richest person in
After Ava said that, she reached out decisively and quickly, snatching the other cup of coffee in Chloe's hand. She splashed it on Naya's body without hesitation.Naya screamed immediately.“Ah!”She took two steps back in a fluster. She had a panicked look on her face but there seemed to be a smirk on her lips.“Ava! Are you crazy? How dare you splash coffee on Naya like that?”Chloe immediately rushed over to vent her anger on Naya's behalf. There was a look of justice on her face like she was coming to the aid of someone suffering an injustice.“Why are you so cruel? Do you think you’re all that because your mother is the richest woman in Y Country? Do you think you can bully people like this? Before this, you stole Naya's fiance in front of everyone, and today, you’re causing trouble for Naya. Naya is very gentle but that's not an excuse for you to bully her like that!”Chloe was speaking righteously, and at this moment, Naya's face was full of innocence and hurt.“Forget i
As soon as Ava stepped out of the door, Naya and Chloe suddenly displayed sinister smiles on their faces.Ava drove away. The more she thought about the incident after she calmed down, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Naya's behavior just now.She knew that Naya had managed to provoke her a little just now, which was why she made such a counterattack.She had always been like that, but because of Daniel, she began to hold herself back. In the past, even when she was weak, she had never been afraid of facing Jeremy.She always said whatever was on her mind and never held back when she was angry.Furthermore, Naya and Chloe were clearly colluding against her this time. They said they liked her designs, but in reality, they were just trying to fool her and vent their anger.After returning, Ava did not tell Daniel and the others about it. Instead, she just went back to her work. However, after a while, the new manager called Ava into her office.The manager s
Maisie wanted to follow Ava to know what exactly was going on. At the same time, she wanted to comfort Ava as well. However, after seeing her serious expression, she decided not to follow her anymore so that Ava would not be disturbed. Ava was about to call Madeline, but she did not expect Madeline to call her first.After picking up the call, Madeline's worried voice came from the other end.“Ava, where are you now? I'll go look for you.”“Maddie, did you also see the video on the internet?” Ava could hear that Madeline was worried about her.“Jeremy told me about it. That’s how I got to know that this sort of thing is happening to you.” Madeline was a little anxious. “Where are you? I'll go look for you.”Ava knew this had to be resolved, and at the same time, she had also planned on asking Madeline for a favor. Hence, she did not refuse.Ten minutes later, Madeline arrived downstairs at Ava’s company.Ava applied for a leave of absence with the new manager and went to Madel
Maisie squeezed her coffee cup angrily, and it could be seen that she felt especially indignant about vile characters who did such despicable things.“Ava, Eveline, it's not difficult to solve this matter. As long as we get the full, unedited version of the video, we can prove Ava's innocence.”Maisie offered her own views and suggestions.“Didn’t Ava say that there was a servant who helped Naya buy coffee? I suspect that this person was the one who filmed it. We just need to find this person.”Madeline and Ava felt that this approach was feasible.Moreover, it was likely that this accomplice who filmed the video to frame Ava could be bribed with money and benefits. Although money was not everything, it was enough to make these unscrupulous people turn against each other.“Maddie, I can only ask for your help on this matter. I don't want Dan to worry about me, and I don't want the company's reputation to be affected because of my personal grudges with Naya. So, please help me t
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
